US Marine Corps loadout help

[Jelliffe99]

Hi all,
Can you give me some pointers to how to make a US Marine Loadout similar to this:http://media.defenseindustrydaily.co..._MARPAT_lg.jpg
Cheers

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

Woodland MARPAT trousers and field jacket. A MOLLE vest in tan. Some tan pouches and a helmet (PASGT or MICH don't know exactly which one they currently use) and woodland MARPAT cover. Ballistic goggles, tactical gloves and knee pads. And some boots, of course!
There you go!

Oops pardon my mistake then,but a quick look at google and the LWH looks very similar to the PASGT so I think you could get away with using a PASGT.

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

I might go for a pagst seeing as LWH replicas aren't easy to come by

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

Obviously the BDUs are Woodland MARPAT.
All vest, pouches etc needs to be in CB
and for crying out loud IT'S NOT A PASGT HELMET!!

Gentex Light Weight Helmet, Reversible Helmet Cover, Cat Eyes Band, PASGT NVG Mount
MICH 2000, FSBE II cover (Sometimes w/ MEU), Norotos 3 Pt. or Universal shroud, Rhino Swing Arm.
MARPAT Boonie Hat

Boots:
Belleville, Bates, Danner, Corcoran USMC Stamped Olive Mojave Boots


Plate Carriers/Flak Jackets:
IBA (Interceptor Body Armor) For older impressions, you can use woodland ones.)

Any coyote aftermarket or CIF hydro carriers (IE Source USMC 3L)

Various Gear:

BHI Serpa 2nd Gen. USMC stamped for M9.

Pouches:
For older look, mix with woodland and coyote brown pouches. For a modern look:
AITES IFAK
Assorted aftermarket or CIF load bearing pouches.

Comms:

For an older look, you can use just Aimpoints or EOTechs.

M4 is starting to become more common.
Troops are commonly seen with personally-bought Surefire combat lights, such as M951, M961, M952, M962.

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

best bet is to buy a pasgt helmet then buy lwh helmet straps to replace the craptastic pasgt ones you can pick em up on the bay for not much

Everybody knows it's not a pasgt...that was stated way up thread...just that the actual helmet is not easy to come by according to the OP. Either way...it's all swings and roundabouts really

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

Overall, PASGTs and LWH look the same, all you would need to do is change the PASGT chin strap for an LWH harness.

Yeah one guy said it and I missed it, not the first time something has been restated. Thanks for that wonderful contribution to the thread. Really helpful and productive.
